custom paint for wheels
Hello people. I got some Breyton Magic Racing wheels for my GTA and I'm gonna have them painted. Now, I could either paint them the OEM color, Impreza STI alike color or paint them in the same pattern as the Year One Bandit wheels (gold on the sides with polished faces). I need your opinions on this matter. I am attaching some pics so that you have an idea of the options. Thanks
This is a Breyton wheel:

Re: custom paint for wheels
I photoshopped two options. It was a quick thing so don't look at the quality of the chop. Hehe. They look kind of weird with the two tone scheme I think. I am leaning towards the full gold paint. I'd have to choose now between OEM gold or Impreza STI kind of gold. Those of you who believe the two tone looks better please comment also. Thanks

If they are for the GTA picturd I ( just my opinion ) would go with the 2 tone leaving the spokes polished on the face to match the lip of the rim!

Love the two tone gold! That will look really nice 
What hub-centrics are you using with those BMW wheels?
Do them in as close to factory as you can get them.

Re: custom paint for wheels
Thought about going black, on the recesses & faces? But leaving the lips polished?

Re: custom paint for wheels
OK...... I asked the most cynical person I know which would look better ( that would be the wife) and even she says the two tone!
